A ring of 10 to 30 atoms, each inflated to a fragile, oversized state and held in place by laser tweezers, has given ...

Physicists in China have simulated the effect of "false vacuum decay": a phenomenon believed to play out constantly in the ...

Scientists have discovered an ultra-rare particle decay process, opening a new path to find physics beyond our understanding of how the building blocks of matter interact. Scientists at CERN have ...

The process: The study focuses on a radiation-induced process by which weakly bound matter can fall apart, the so-called electron-transfer-mediated decay (ETMD). Given predictions that it efficiently ...

When high-energy radiation interacts with water in living organisms, it generates particles and slow-moving electrons that can subsequently damage critical molecules like DNA. Now, Professor Petr ...

Alpha decay represents a fundamental mode of radioactive disintegration wherein an unstable nucleus emits an alpha particle—a tightly bound cluster of two protons and two neutrons. This process not ...

Scientists revealed how atoms rearrange themselves before releasing low-energy electrons in a decay process initiated by X-ray irradiation. For the first time, they gain detailed insights into the ...

Scientists at CERN have discovered an ultra-rare particle decay process, opening a new path to find physics beyond our understanding of how the building blocks of matter interact. Today the NA62 ...
